As an insurance carrier, your conversation with a policyholder makes a lasting impression—either good or bad. It is no longer merely the products you offer that matters. It is about the end-to-end experience and interactions that define a high-value, long-term customer relationship—or a quick defection. To grow profitable books of business you must offer more than a competitive product; you must provide an exceptional customer experience.

Coordination Lacking
• Customer interact with insurance providers using 3.6 channels
For ex: 97% of all mobile users also use website
• 32% of mobile users are satisfied with that experience
• Those dissatisfied with one channel tend to be dissatisfied with
other channels too, and with the whole company
For ex: 71% of email users dislike mobile experience
